    Namibia’s unique Miombo-Mopane Woodland Ecoregion in the Okavango and Kunene basins is of capital importance for the country’s development, especially in the regions of Kavango East and Omusati where these dry forests prevail. At least 600,000 people live in the rural parts of Kavango East, Omusati and Oshikoto provinces that are dominated by Baikiaea, Miombo and Mopane forest. Rural communities rely on naturally resilient ecosystems for food, nutrition, shelter, medicine, fiber and the availability of water – highly valued and vital ecosystem services. These woodlands are threatened throughout their entire distribution, within a sub-region of Southern Africa that includes Namibia. Deforestation, uncontrolled wildfires and unsustainable use of natural resources are increasingly fragmenting and destroying Miombo-Mopane woodlands across the Kunene-Cuvelai and Okavango river basins, all of which originate in Angola, are internationally shared and sustain populations on both sides of the Angola-Namibia border. To initiate a transformational shift towards sustainable, integrated management of multi-use dryland landscapes in northern Namibia, building on Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) principles, Namibia is implementing an integrated landscape management project to reverse degradation and support the sustainable use of natural resources in the Mopane-Miombo belt of northern Namibia under the Sustainable Forest Management Impact Program on Dryland Sustainable Landscapes (SFM-DSL).
